Welcome to our Network Services Web Page


CUsource, LLC is a Credit Union Service Organization offering quality products and services to credit unions and other cooperative organizations.


Mission


CUsource, LLC will employ high-quality, innovative value-added competitively priced solutions-backed by outstanding support. We will build long-term relationships with our credit unions and their members while ensuring the long-term financial stability of the organization.


You lock your doors at night. You purchased security cameras. Who watches your network?


You've got more important things to worry about; your Members! When you are busy addressing the needs of your members, be it helping them apply for a loan, doing a cash withdrawal or even setting up their first account, you don't have time to wonder if their data is safe; you should just know that it is.

To help our credit unions provide state of the art technology solutions both in-house and to their members, as well as meet regulatory requirements of Graham, Leach, Bliley and NCUA's Regulation 748 Act, a network services 'solution' was created.

To build a multilayered protection solution, we first assembled a team built with three technology partners: SecureWorks, Inc. Polivec, Inc. and Qualys, Inc. SecureWorks provides managed firewall and intrusion prevention and reporting services while Polivec provides policy development, enforcement and reporting. Qualys completes the triangle and provides Vulnerability Assessment and reporting. Credit unions can purchase these services directly from each of these providers. However, purchasing through CUsource gives you better cooperative pricing plus the added resources of our technical staff managing the service for you.

Next, we partnered up with another vendor to provide Internet access and IT security for credit unions and small businesses. To add to the initial layers of security, we implemented our Disaster Recovery Services Program. CUsource offers both a Disaster Recovery Phone system and a Co-Location venue for your access.

The Disaster Recovery Phone System provides you with a continuity for your phone services should you suffer an outage. Disaster Recovery Co-Location protects all the layers of security you have in place and your daily work. Our dedicated server room is available to credit unions to take advantage of existing infrastructure to manage your servers, networks and other technology equipment in a controlled environment.

We guarantee regulated power with a generated backup power system, high bandwidth Internet connection, physical and network security, along with 24 x 7 monitoring and full technical support.

It makes sense, to once again, use cooperative advantages to outsource your back up systems to a co-location center keeping costs low and ensuring the quality of service.

Your Members Come First
In today's rapidly changing world of technology and on-line services, financial institution data is attacked daily. Your members expect you to protect their private data unconditionally. The integrity of your security and IT systems are very important.

Protecting the credit union from the inside is just as important as protecting it from the outside. Web Content Filter is a wonderful program for you to access sites and monitor employee Internet access. CUsource has the ability to filter all incoming and outgoing Internet traffic. Your staff can feel safe knowing that spyware is not an issue, nor is the potential for embarrassing porn and other unwanted images / sites.

Not just intrusion detection ~ intrusion prevention


Secure Communications, Commerce and Content


When credit unions evaluate their network security in today's environment, it looks much more different than what it did five years ago. Leadership is tasked with determining risk assessments detailing the value of the information, the threat of the environment, and the strength of the security.

Security and privacy must be addressed in your business operations in order to provide content access to your members allowing them to complete transactions off-site and enhance customer loyalty.

There are many layers to security
You can picture security like a jawbreaker. There are many layers and it takes time to dissolve your way through each one. Slowly, one layer at a time, you work your way through the red layer (firewall) to the orange layer (intrusion prevention system), then slowly you wear down the yellow layer (spam, anti-virus), the green layer (user access controls and verification)...methodically continuing to break down the jawbreaker until you get to a point where you can crush it in your teeth (accessing the data). The best security defense is to make sure you have as many layers as possible as well as 24/7 monitoring to be able to stop the attacks before they get the chance to penetrate multiple layers.

You may have some or all of these layers in place. CUsource can help fill in the gaps that you are not currently addressing or we can do an independent test / audit to ensure what you have in place is working.
